Ronald Koeman

[Bobo32]

Not easy to live with heart problems...
With the information at hand, most probably he felt/imagined some symtoms he thought could be an MI, went to the hospital who tested and since tests were negative it was "anxiety"

Koeman is hurt, but still wants to stay the manager for next season. He is overwhelmed by the support of the fans. [sport]

What support?

 

[fergus90]

Laporta just said he doesn't believe in transitional seasons and they will continue to speak with Koeman as regards to his future.

Of course he will say that but the reality are Barca are in transition always just to what degree changes and this is point huge changes needed.

I think he meant it and I agree.

My manager.

Directly calling out Koeman saying he did well for a transitional season

 

[Messigician]

Messi signed a new contract - Koeman is sacked, we've signed Guardiola with Xavi as his assistant - Oh and we also left the Super League. + sold Coutinho back to Liverpool with a profit.

Meant what?

Barca are in transition constantly and big changes are needed at moment.

Can call it whatever they want but that is the reality.

'There are no transitional seasons at Barca' is just rhetoric and a soundbite.

Is trying to join ESL not transition? Every new coach is transition.

I guess he's trying to say that he won't accept a transition for a reason for certain failures or decisions. To be honest our downfall was the re-introduction of the old guard and the 'transition' was gathering momentum before that.

That's just splitting hairs (is that a common phrase in English?^^). Of course there's always transition happening, but Barcelona (like Real, Bayern...) never go into the season not expecting to compete for titles. Like we did this season as well. Koeman trying to excuse the teams performances with youth etc pp is just cheap.

And Neymar is also returning.

Lets see what Laporta claims at end of season if Barca dont win.. then it will all be about transition and building new team even if doesnt use that specific term.

Barca will always try to win but this is a transitional period whether they use that word or not and there is clear reasons they wont at this time.

No one want Neymar

As long as we can objectively compete there aren't "transitional" seasons (meaning throwaway seasons). That's the point. And we competed this season as well, and it's hard to imagine a team that's not able to compete at the moment (the bar is pretty low). So in that sense this season has been a failure (with some positives of course).

Fake news.
